Wedding at Cervo Hotel in Zermatt

Magical Wedding in Zermatt

A Scenic Celebration at Riffelalp and Hotel Cervo

This enchanting wedding took place at Riffelalp and Hotel Cervo in Zermatt. I had the pleasure of working alongside the talented videographer David from davidandkatrin.

The Groom’s Preparations

The day commenced at Hotel Cervo, where the groom and his four stylish friends got ready. It felt like a shoot for a GQ magazine, with the camaraderie and high spirits setting a wonderful tone for the day.

The Bride’s Preparations

We then took the train to Riffelalp Resort, where the bride was getting ready with her mother and sister. The rustic mountain hotel atmosphere felt like something out of a James Bond film. The bride’s father joined them, adding to the joy of the preparations.

A Note on the Florist

I must mention the florist, Tabea Maria-Lisa, whom I consider the most talented florist I’ve met in Switzerland. Her work can be found at Tabea Maria-Lisa.

The Church Ceremony

The bride walked to the church adorned with beautiful decorations by Tabea. She entered with her father, and the emotional “handover” was profoundly moving.

A Humorous Misstep

During the ceremony at Riffelalp Hotel, I mistakenly thought the priest was about to share the couple’s story and tried to capture the moment. It turned out to be a prayer, which led to a bit of confusion, but we shared a laugh about it later.

Apero with a View

The weather was perfect, and the Matterhorn provided a stunning backdrop for the apero. Afterward, the party moved back to Hotel Cervo, where guests changed into black tie and cocktail dresses, creating a photographer’s dream setting.

The Dining Room and Celebration

The dining room setup by Tabea was breathtaking. I also created a same-day slideshow, editing and displaying photos from the day during the evening. It was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The night concluded with a lively party, marking a successful celebration.
